Course Description

LAW 329 - Women and the Law

This course examines the legal and social status of women in modern American
society, law and policy relating to that status, legal tools developed to
address sexual inequality, and the possibility that law both challenges and
supports women’s subordination. Issues are approached intersectionally,
addressing sex, race, sexual orientation and other differences simultaneously.
The issue areas include: employment, family, reproduction, sexuality, violence,
and equality theory.
